SSS to waive penalties on short-term loans

MANILA, Philippines-The state-run pension fund Social Security System (SSS) has started accepting applications online from members who want their unpaid loans condoned without any penalties. The short-term member loan penalty condonation program that began on Nov. 15 will accept applications until Feb. 14, 2022, through member-borrowers My.SSS accounts. Our heart goes [out] to our members who were greatly affected during this pandemic and yet [are trying] their best to get back on their feet. The SSS is always here to extend not only cash benefits and loan privileges but also conditional condonation which provides financial relief by waiving their accumulated penalties once their loan principal and interest are fully paid, SSS president and chief executive Aurora Cruz Ignacio said in a statement.

Police harassment sa TUCP Labor Center kinondena

KINONDENA ng Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) ang umanoy pangha-harass na ginawa ng mga pulis sa TUCP Labor Center sa Diliman, Quezon City nitong Martes. This is a clear act of harassment intended to send a chilling message to the trade union movement and specifically to cow TUCP in its advocacy and union organizing work in both the private and public sectors, ayon kay TUCP President Raymond Mendoza. Ayon kay Mendoza, pinasok ng pitong pulis na hindi naka-uniporme ang kanilang tanggapan. Without permission or even a courtesy request, the policemen, using the CIDG blue-and-white sedan vehicle with plate number SKM 714 from QC-76, entered the TUCP compound and arrogantly roamed inside our private premises, took photos of the daily attendance list, and interrogated our staff without a search warrant.

Labor groups question legality of no vaccine, no work policy

RA 11525 states that vaccine cards shall not be considered as an additional mandatory requirement for education, employment, and other similar government transaction purposes. For his part, TUCP President Raymond Mendoza also called out Bello for his supposed wrongfully interpreting the IATF guidelines for Alert Level system. [There is] nothing in guidelines on Alert Level 3, [which] says unvaccinated workers can be fired. It is really wrong for Secretary Bello to say so, Mendoza said. Under the IATF guidelines on the implementation of Alert Level System (ALS) issued last week, certain establishments like restaurants, cinemas and recreational venues will be allowed to operate under Alert Level 3 provided the employees of the said establishment are fully vaccinated.
